Long-Term Storage
Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to
the SC7072 when storing it for long periods and at the
end of the season. This will help to ensure the unit is
ready for field use the next time you hook-up to it.
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports
before working under it. Never go under equipment supported
by concrete blocks or hydraulics. Concrete can break,
hydraulic lines can burst, and/or hydraulic controls can be
actuated even when power to hydraulics is off.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Always shut power machine down following the “Shutdown
Procedure” provided in this manual before leaving the
operator’s seat.
• Do not alter attachment or replace parts on the attachment
with other brands. Other brands may not fit properly or
meet OEM specifications. They can weaken the integrity
and impair the safety, function, performance, and life of the
attachment. Replace parts only with genuine OEM parts.
Clean the Skid Cutter at the end of the working season or
when the cutter will not be used for a long period.
1. Clean off any dirt or grease that may have
accumulated on the cutter and moving parts. Scrape
off compacted dirt from the bottom of the deck and
then wash the surface thoroughly with a garden hose.
A coating of oil may also be applied to the lower deck
area to minimize oxidation.
2. Check blades, carbide teeth and hardware for wear
and replace if necessary. See “Cutter Blade
Maintenance” on page 20 and “Carbide Teeth
Maintenance” on page 21.
3. Inspect for loose, damaged, or worn parts and adjust
or replace as needed.
4. Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to
prevent rust.
